Delicious and simple. Used cherry toms; and elephant garlic to tone down the garlic taste. Next time I make this I am going to use wax beans for a change. Forgot to buy fresh green beans at the farmers' market so I opted for my reliable, good quality frozen green beans. There was only a hint of Dijon which I liked;- too much and it would have overpowered the salad. Thanks for sharing your easy recipe.
